Drivers for better e-book discovery
• Collections are volatile– Literally 100s of changes per month– Libraries need efficient updates to
manage library specific holdings
• Acquisition models are changing– E-book collection sizes are growing– Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA)
• New data elements to manage– License Data– Trial Feedback– Status Changes from PDA
• Disconnected management and discovery
– Duplication of data entry– Endless batch loading of records– Locally deployed systems

New opportunities to improve discovery of e-books
• Fully automated process for activation in discovery service
– Accurate, timely title lists from suppliers– Direct feeds from supplier of your
Selection Pool– Title matching regardless of ISBN– Automated status change on purchase
What benefits can libraries realize?
• Reduced manual effort– No manual creation of title lists and
providers– No title by title entry of e-books– No loading / unloading of bibliographic
records– No complicated spreadsheets– Streamlines staff communication
• Makes e-books discoverable, fast
– Up to date matching of Selection Pool– Timely access in discovery service
